In many practical control problems it is desired to optimize a given cost functional while satisfying constraints involving dynamical systems. These kind of problems typically fall into the area of optimal control, a centerpiece of modern control theory. This course gives an introduction to the theory and application of optimal control for linear and nonlinear systems. Topics covered in the course are:

  • Nonlinear programming approach
  • Dynamic programming
  • Model predictive control
  • Pontryagin maximum principle
  • Applications
  • The course is given in English.
  • Additional information, exercises and further course material is avaible on the ILIAS-page of the course.
  • The exam will be a written test.
  • The duration of the exam is 90 minutes.
  • Documents (lecture notes, booksetc.) as well as electronic devices are NOT allowed
